Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pain Inducing Massage
Participants will receive 60 seconds of manual pressure applied to one point in their neck followed by 30 seconds of complete pressure release 4 times for a total contact time of 240 seconds. Pressure will be applied such that the participant rates the pain = 5/10 on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the most severe pain imaginable.
Pain Inducing Massage
60 seconds of direct pressure to the neck resulting in 5/10 pain . This will be repeated four times for a total of 240 seconds
Pain Free Massage
Participants will receive 60 seconds of manual pressure applied to one point in their neck followed by 30 seconds of complete pressure release 4 times for a total contact time of 240 seconds. Pressure will be applied such that the participant rates the pain = 0/10 on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the most severe pain imaginable.
Pain Free Massage
60 seconds of direct pressure to the neck resulting in 0/10 pain . This will be repeated four times for a total of 240 seconds
Cold Water Bath
Participants will place their non-dominant hand into water cooled by a refrigeration unit (NESLAB RTE 7 Digital One, Thermo Scientific Co., Massachusetts, USA) that circulates water continuously to maintain a constant temperature of 6 degrees Celsius (males) or 8 degrees Celsius (females). The participant will place his or her hand in the cooled water for 60 seconds followed by a 30 second break in which the participant will remove his or her hand from the water. This will occur 4 times for a total immersion time of 240 seconds.
Cold Water Bath
Participants will place their hand in a cold water bath maintained at 6 to 8 degrees Celsius for 60 seconds. This will be repeated four times for a total of 240 seconds.
